That's a tough one. VGA's better than nothing, but how many people who use digital-only will just assume that it's broken? Mind you, right now it doesn't work at all.... I say push it. Most people would probably rather *temporarily* having to use an analog cable than have it not work at all.

I was planning to buy a more powerful card once the OSS driver support improves for the r7xx generation, and now I'm considering going directly to r8xx. I'm hoping that the porting will be relatively straight-forward.

it would have been cool if 57xx modesetting had been commited two days ago - just barely beating fglrx

Actually, the amount of people buying a top-notch GPU and connecting it to an old VGA monitor should be low. I don't think the additional work for cleanup and commit is justified yet. Do keep us informed though!
